12 Days of Pawlidays: Fergie
What is 12 Days of Pawlidays?
This holiday season, make a difference by helping a long-stay pet find the loving home they’ve been waiting for. From December 12–23, we’re spotlighting a different animal each day, giving them a chance to shine as the star of the day. These incredible pets have been patiently waiting for their perfect family, and now it’s their turn to find happiness. Best of all, on their special day, their adoption fees are completely waived—meaning it costs $0 to bring home a lifelong friend and brighten their holiday season.
Meet Fergie: Your Loyal, Fun-Loving Adventure Buddy
If you're looking for a furry friend who’s as loyal as he is playful, look no further than Fergie! At nearly 2 years old, this 51-pound bundle of love is ready to bring joy, laughter, and plenty of wiggles into your life. Currently in foster care, Fergie is looking for an active, loving home where he can thrive.
Why Fergie Will Steal Your Heart
Fergie’s goofy, fun-loving personality is matched only by his affectionate nature. Known for his adorable wiggle walk and endless enthusiasm, he’s the ultimate companion for an active family. Whether you’re hiking rugged trails, running in the park, or tossing a squeaky toy in the backyard, Fergie is ready to join the fun!
And when the adventures wind down? Expect plenty of cuddles, kisses, and loyal companionship. Fergie bonds deeply and quickly with his people, always eager to please and connect. His sweet demeanor and silly antics are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face every day.
A Smart Pup Ready to Learn
Fergie’s previous foster couldn’t stop singing his praises:
“Fergie is extremely loyal, playful, and affectionate. He bonds incredibly quickly and just wants to please his people…He’s super smart and always paying attention, making him very easy to train!”
With his sharp mind and eagerness to please, Fergie is a dream for anyone willing to invest a little time in training. In fact, he comes with two free training sessions from Underdog Academy to help him shine even brighter in his new home.
Fergie’s Ideal Home
Fergie would do best in an adult-only household with an active lifestyle. He thrives on outdoor adventures and regular walks (two to three a day would be perfect) but also loves downtime with his humans. A family with experience handling larger dogs would be ideal, especially one willing to guide him through his puppy-like curiosity and playfulness.
If you already have a playful dog around Fergie’s size, even better! He gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy having a furry sibling to show him the ropes.

Affectionate and loyal: He bonds deeply and quickly, showering his humans with love and cuddles.
Playful and goofy: Fergie’s silly antics and wiggle walk will keep you entertained.
Active and adventurous: A perfect partner for hiking, running, and exploring the great outdoors.
